Aren't countries that are invading other countries banned from the Olympics? That's the flimsy reason why Russia isn't allowed this time.

the-podcast did an episode recently, not only about invading during the Olympics (the Olympic Truce) [where the US never faced any pushback over 10 Olympics games throughout the wars in West Asia] but also about destroying or occupying sports facilities in invaded areas

This was quite educational. Basically, the IOC's official stance is:

geordi-no "You started governing the regions you control? That's interfering with athletes in the region! BANNED!"

geordi-yes "You started genociding the regions you control? Well, as long as you aren't governing, that's fine by us!"

(And Amerikkka is excluded from these rules. As is tradition.)
